Verdict

CATCHINTSAVO left his hurdles debut form in his wake with a first-time tongue strap enlisted when finishing a very good second at Hereford 5 weeks ago and, appealing as the type to progress further, he holds sound claims of going one place better back up in trip. Not At That Price showed plenty of ability in bumpers and is next on the list. Ben Pauling's point recruit Last Round is another to consider. Idaho Fire also requires market attention now hurdling.

10	Fair form when fourth in a couple of bumpers last spring and, following 6 months off, he again ran well from the front when second of 10 in bumper at Uttoxeter (15.8f, soft) 76 days ago.
